CHICO, Calif., June 2, 2025 – Enloe Health Enloe Medical Center earned an “A” Hospital Safety Grade from The Leapfrog Group, an independent national nonprofit watchdog focused on patient safety. Leapfrog assigns an “A,” “B,” “C,” “D” or “F” grade to general hospitals across the country based on over 30 measures of errors, accidents, injuries and infections as well as the systems hospitals have in place to prevent them.

“Earning another Leapfrog Safety award is a proud reminder of my colleagues’ unwavering commitment to patient care and excellence,” said Sean Maiorano, D.O., Enloe Health’s Chief Medical Officer. “It reflects the dedication of every caregiver who works to ensure our hospital remains a place of healing, trust and safety.”

“Achieving an ‘A’ Hospital Safety Grade reflects enormous dedication to patient safety,” said Leah Binder, President and CEO of The Leapfrog Group. “I extend my congratulations to Enloe Health, its leadership, clinicians, staff and volunteers for creating a culture where patients come first.”

The Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade stands as the only hospital ratings program focused solely on preventable medical errors, infections and injuries that kill more than 500 patients a day in the United States. This program is peer-reviewed, fully transparent and free to the public. Grades are updated twice annually, in the fall and spring.

“Receiving another safety award is a testament to the extraordinary work, vigilance and care that define our caregivers,” said Mike Wiltermood, Enloe Health’s President and CEO. “Our caregivers are dedicated to providing the safest, highest-quality care for every patient, every day. It’s an honor that highlights our mission to elevate the health of our communities.”
